Great shot of the trophy yanks12025.
Terrific stuff everyone. Keep posting everything Gehrig.
These "trophy" photos were taken for a Look magazine article in 1940. gehrigstrophies.jpggehrigstrophieswife.jpg Although I did post this telegram in an earlier thread, I think it warrants a post here as well... gehrigtelegram1941.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 07-05-2009 at 06:28 AM.

it's hard to read this, and not get a lump in your throat...
"Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. "Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky. "When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that's something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know. "So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for." -Lou Gehrig July 4, 1939 Last edited by MVSNYC; 07-05-2009 at 06:50 PM.

Here's my contribution to Jimmy's great thread, and I'm sorry if they're any repeats from my previous posts...
Gehrig watching the flight of his final home run, September 27, 1938:  Lou Gehrig Day at the Stadium, July 4, 1939:   And, Gehrig posing for photographers before the second game of the 1939 World Series (October 5):
